Twenty-four public-spirited citizens of Lumberton have purchased this ' Chautauqua for $1,J50. They have 1 assumed this obligation for no other I purpose except to give the people of this entire community and section l opportunity to enjoy at reasonable cost to each one some of the highest class entertainmentg that can be pro cured. If receipts exceed the amount of the guarantee, the surplus will be turned over to the Woman's Club of Lumberton and will be used for the pi'Hir benefit. Only in this way can such clean, high-class entertainment be brought to the people of this community at moderate, cost. It is an opportunity extraordinary that no one within reach should miss. It will be equal, for those who take advantage of it, to a week's visit to a large city where the best in the line of entertainment is to be seen; and the beauty about it is that the price is so low that it is within the reach of all. It is to be hoped that the entire I community and near-by country and towns will take advantage of this feast cf good things, not to keep the guarantors from sustaining a loss any more than you go to a circus. to keep the circus man from losing, but for the same reason you go to a circus,! in order to get wholesome-, fun and ( worth-while eritertamment' at low J cost.

No construction work will hen immediately in this district and it will probably be a month or InneJr before the maintenance organization is completed. There are certain de tails that must be worked, out, .said Mr. McGirt. before a program of tnja magnitude can be successfully launch ed. The people must be natient an1 understand from the beginning that the State is working on five-year program of road building, said Mr. McGirt. "We couia not . build all of these highways in one or two years if we wanted to and it would be verv riskv 10 attempt it, because of possible ex travagance, incompetency and wasfe.

The apportionment f funds was made on a basis of thfee divisions, viz: area, mileage ajid population and this district will Se cure about $998,000 a year. ,No dis trict can take from another district any part of its funds.

Mr. Dosher led the singing by ave no doubt that the Mother's the men, old songs and new liberally tension system has more than paid for itself by saving the community the cost of a large number of com mitments in cases of delinquency, nejjlect and dependency. "Of the 10,000 or more children coming into the Children's Court of New York every year, probably 75 per cent, are brought in because of improper surroundings or environ ment." Judges of the children's courts nearly everywhere are in favor of adequate mothers' pensions because they see the tremendous reduction in juvenile crime and the CONSE QUENT REDUCTION TO THE TAX PAYER of the expense of reforma tories an dependent institutions. Jjdire Victor P. Arnold of the Children's Court of Chicago says that mothers' pensions is a great reducer of crime among future citizens, and for this reason he is in favor of more adequate pensions. Forty States are giving mothers' Pensions to the extent of over fifteen million dollars this year. Judge Neil's slogan is: "A hundred Million for Mothers' Pensions by 1925." How'sThis?

I no man would pride himself on furnishing trash liberally for his family. The family is entitled to good, wholesome food that helps growth. It is the same with reading.

Let m prove it with a sample. The Youth's Companion has long since ceased to provide for "Youth" alone. It has become the favorite all-the-family weekjy of America.

One of the Greatest Needs of Southern Methodist Church. By Susan Iden One of the greatest needs of the Southern Methodist Church is a fund to 'aid young men and women to; pre pare for Christian, service. One of the objectives of the Christian Education movement is a million Niollar fund for this purpose, and no objective of t h e move ment offers more compelling appeal to large givers. To enlist 5,000 young men and women for the ministry and for other forms of Christian service in important; to aid them to prepare for such service is equally impor tant. A $250,000 memorial fund would send to college each year for all time to come fifty young preachers or students preparing for other Christian service. $100,000 would send twenty each year; $50,000 would send ten The Southern Methodist Church has a tiny loan fund. In 1908 it was $5,600. Since that time it has educa ted sixty-four young men by making loans in the sum of $7,740. and it has at the same time not only remained intact, but has grown to $6,800. If this fund had been one million dollars in 1908 it would already have trained 12,500 preachers by making loans ag. gregating $1,500,000, one and one half times as much as the original fund and also it would have increased $250,000.

Johnson carried the direct primary in North Carolina. The delegates from that state were thus instructed for him. Most of them broke away as soon as possible but Blair wa, the worst offender from the standpoint of Johnson7 for Blair totally disregarded instructions and voted for Harding.
